Running SMS

Installing Ups2client

This is the server that will allow the PS2 to connect to your Linkstation. You can download the source code from this post HERE (registration required).
The code has been updated to allow for applications to traverse through subdirectories on Linux systems, thanks husky99 of kurubox forums

This installs ps2client and fsclient into /usr/bin. Only problem now is that SMS has to be started on the PS2 before you start ps2client, husky99 solved that with a python script below, checkPS2.py, obviously you'll need python installed on your system. FreeLink users can just:

apt-get install python

You will need to place the script in the same place as ps2client (/usr/bin in my case)

Configuring

Now that it is installed and running (hopefully), you would normally create an elflist.txt and enter locations, however I believe this is currently broken? So, create links from the media you would like to stream, to the place ps2client is located, i.e:

ln -s /mnt/hda/films /usr/bin
ln -s /mnt/hda/music /usr/bin

USB

Enable USB support front the SMS menu (press 'start' at the browser). The built-in USBD.IRX is compatible with most USB drives. You will see a new icon in the top bar when a USB device is attached. Press RIGHT to select this icon and browse the USB drive.
